Getting CLOSER to RAISE THE ROOF for FOODWHAT YOUTH!

The
FoodWhat family has been working for over a month to raise $12,500 to
build our first outdoor gathering space/classroom for youth!This will
be a space for youth to gather when they come to the Farm, have
workshops, share meals together, dig into food justice, learn and grown.
This week we were up to 50% of our goal, and kept pounding the pavement
to keep momentum going.

youth in the Spring Internship program... it's clear they need a roof!

THENNew Leaf Community Markets stepped it up with an extraordinarily
generous $2300 donation to take us to the 75% mark!!! New Leaf has
supported FoodWhat efforts like the Strawberry BLAST youth health
education event for years, and we’re so grateful they helped us reach
this huge milestone in the campaign.
